Spinach Ravioli

I usually have an idea in my head about what my next recipe will be (and it’s always a really, really long list).  But, from time to time, I solicit suggestions from my family and listen to what they would like to see on the blog next (and by blog, I mean dinner table).  This recipe was the suggestion of Real Food Jr.  She loves raviolis and spinach so I figured this would be a no lose recipe.  And I was right!  She loved the raviolis and the rest of us did too!  You could pour marinara sauce on top or dip them.  It took some time to put them together but they freeze well and reheat quite nicely.  Raviolis just got a little healthier!
